In the upper-right corner of the text box you should see a little smily. Click it to access the smilies that come with Vanilla Forums.

Like or dislike? I personally miss my old text-only emoticons, though I can still do them with some html trickery

.

It's alright, but the location blocks the view of the typing when the line gets long enough.

I like them, so long as I am informed of how to make my sociopathic sideways smile.

Although, something about them feels terribly childish.

Like a person who attaches phrases like "LoL" to everything.

I like graphical emoticons in forums. I'm not so crazy about this particular set, but I know you have no control over that.

I say give 'em a try.

B-)

Yeah, this set's kinda shitty. If I could control smilies like TVTropes where each of them has a tag like [wmg] rather than replacing text smilies like

, I would absolutely turn them on. It's the added hassle of having to throw italics tags in the middle of my smilies that bugs me.

Ahhh!

Italics!

Anonus · 2011-01-14 00:21:59

If they replace the text ones, then despite what I said I don't like these.

Test:

Anonus · 2011-01-14 00:22:16

never mind

How to still use text smilies:

:)

But with bendy brackets.

Central Avenue · 2011-01-14 00:28:53

Huh, that seems like a pain.

Switching my vote to "no", then.

Lolipod_Distortion · 2011-01-14 00:31:23

Yeah gonna switch my vote to no.
:-q

Ponicalica · 2011-01-14 00:32:51

I dislike these avatars.

Longfellow · 2011-01-14 00:50:25

All right, toggled off.

Anonus · 2011-01-14 00:59:46

Thanks.

glennmagusharvey · 2011-01-14 01:44:12

Oh, you can toggle them on and off?
